2. We deny that suffrage is purely alocal
question, for each state to regulate in whole
or suppress in part as 1t chooses. The sup-
preston Of the votes Of black men 10 the
south is rot only a wrong to lhsm, but 1t ia
Also In anattonal synse. ln the election Of
Membcrs of congress and other elections, q
bold and successful method to make one vote
In the south for as much as two in the
north, tlereforea wrong which reaches into
every ncighborhood and to every voter in the
union. 1t ts also used to degrade the negroes
of the south into o servtie form of cheap
labor, with which free labor everywhere must
SOON be brought into competition.
u. we continue to favor o protective tariff
for the upbuildfng Of American Industries
and the development OF all our resources as a
nation. We also favor 1t for the protection
OF American labor, and in such degree as will
maintain to such labor the advantage of the
difference between tue wages Of workingmcn
Of Europe and America. We believe the tar
